My darling husband Ian died on 3rd March 2007 having been diagnosed with cancer on 1st November 2006.
We met through work and Ian proposed on 31st December 1999, we were married in June 2001. In May 2003 our first beautiful daughter Mia arrived, followed by our beautiful Lily May in May 2005. Ian supported me through 2 difficult pregnancies and we finally got our two precious miracles that we thought we would never have. "His little darlings" meant the world to him and you could see the pain in his eyes when he knew that he would not see them grow up.
Ian loved his football especially watching Tottenham, he managed to fulfill his dream of taking Mia to the Lane (thanks Peter) sadly Lily was too young. He has also installed his hatred of red in both of the girls, both say their favourite colour is blue the same as Daddy's!
He was a wonderful man who stayed strong throughout his illness and never let on to how much pain he was really in. He was so brave.
we both knew that when we met,
the two of us were one,
but no one told me what to do,
when half of one is gone.
what to do with half a heart,
or half a will to care,
what to do with half a life,
when the other halfs not there.
you were the other half of me,
a heart linked with my own,
what should i do with half of me,
now that im alone?
i close my eyes and see you,
i see you just the same,
the way you walked,
the way you talked,
the way you said my name.
silently tears fall gently,
which others do not see,
for my wonderfull, loving husband,
who meant the world to me.
Ian was the best husband and the best Dad and he is missed so very very much.
Happy christmas
Happy christmas H, The girls have had a good day and been spoilt rotten as ususal. Mia has just thanked me for all her presents (again) and said there was only one thing she didn't get that she wanted, which was you! I wish i could have given all of us that present. We've missed you so much today as we do every day xxxxx
Memories
Hi H, We are approaching another christmas without you. The girls are so excited, I took them ice skating in hyde park again this year and I now you would have been whizzing around on the ice with them laughing. We walked accross your accident hotspot and I explained the story to them both, i even told them about the madness dance in Birchin Lane. You may not be here but you are still such a big part of their lives, always entering our thoughts and conversations. Every big dog Lily sees in the park, she tells me Daddy would call that a horse! They both have such good memories of you and so do I. I could do wiht you here to check Mia's maths ngmework, both girls are doing well at school and I know you are so proud of them. I'm actually still doing my course, I'm in my third year, I have really stuck at it even when it got tough. You inspired me to carry on and I knew how annoyed you would be about wasting money! lol
althougn we have such great memories of you, it doesn't take the pain away and we will always wish that you were still with us. love and miss you so much xxx
Happy anniversary H
Happy anniversary H, we would have been married 10 years today., and yes I can hear all your sarky comments but also know that you wouldn't have meant any of them!! Mia has her first communion in a few weeks and I know how proud and pleased you would be, to see her doing this, Still love and miss ou loads xxxxxxxx
Hi H, Our little Lily May was 6 today, you would have loved seeing her open all her cards and presents this morning, she was able to read all of the cards herself. doesn't seem possible that its 6 years since you argued with all the midwives and Dr's to stop me being moved to a different hospital miles away. love and miss you loads. xxx
Hey H, The Mighty Spurs got a draw against the scum last night, I know had you been here your phone would have been going, but surprsiingly (not) none of their fans wanted to text last night!!!! Missing you so much, love you lots xxxx
4 years...
HI H, Can't believe you've been gone 4 years, and we still miss you so much. the girls still have their daddy story most nights, We still have our daddy songs, I know you would be so proud of the girls achievements at school. Love you lots, Sarah, Mia and Lily xxxxxx
Happy Christmas
Happy Christmas H. We are all thinking of you as always. The girls have grown up so much, Lily asking to go to bed at 2 this afternoon so Father Christmas would come quicker, Mia so grown up now, and me just wishing you were with us. I'm not sure what you wold make of the puppy "Daisy" but I'm sure we would have won you round in the same way i did with the cats. We couldn't think of a girls Spurs related name so Mia has chosen Daisy. Funny that was the girls name I wanted for Mia but you didn't like it. Love and miss you always xxxxxx
Today brought back so many bad memories, sitting watch all those people having their chemo, then listening to a lady being told her husband was too sick today to have his treatment, They all had that awful haunted look in thier eyes, like you did after you had been diagnosed, I really knew what that lady was going through. Thanks to Helen as usual for picking up the phone and trying hard to stop me from crying.. I also know that you would have been with me while I had my treatment today, We still love and miss you as much as we did three years ago and always will xxxx
Happy fathers day
HI H, The girls missed you so much today, you would have loved to have seen them jump all over the bed this morning, pretending you were there. We should ahev been planning our Vegas trip this weekend not me and the girls taking flowers to the cemetery. Mia has been determined to watch the England games as she says she would have been watching them with you, and how you are still watching them now with us. we all miss you so much, love you always xxxxxx
